[MD] Flying Spaghetti Monsters

[Micah]

Pholden,

We agree on Parecon, with you restating the obvious, that it is bad for the
individual. The intellectual existence being about the individual, whereas
the social is about the collective.

I'm not a libertarian, I'm a Pirsigian Objectivist. A man's philosophical
jumping off point will tell you where he lands on all issues, or falls
depending on the crystallization of the jumping off point.

Yes, we are all very afraid in a America, but I say let our enemies have Los
Angeles and see how they fare, hell we can't control L.A. But I agree, the
invasion force waiting just outside our borders is quite scary. Borders? Can
you define nationalism?

No evidence of racism? You must not be black. If you could choose your race,
and we can't, would you choose to be black? I won't define "black" for you,
refer to the definition of obvious.

Baseball is not a team sport that requires time spent practicing together to
be a good team, it's the most individually oriented team sport. As a former
professional athlete (hockey, baseball) you'll have to take my word.
Professional athlete defined as; an athlete under financial contract to
perform on a team in the major league farm system.

Suppression is not always characterized by a person with a gun to their
head. It could be character assassination of someone holding differing
views, which can be effective in preventing a message from being heard or
taken seriously. But then ideas are scary, especially those we don't agree
with - best they are not heard. Stay the course, don't cut and run to a new
idea or viewpoint, that would be unpatriotic and supportive of the enemy,
and after all - this is a struggle between good and evil, so you're either
for us or against us and we're guided by god.

This has been fun and I assume you are just playing with me, your caricature
is hilarious.

Micah

I'm suppressing you?  How is the government supressing you?

That's funny. I'm a libertarian, too. But I'm 180 degrees from your negative
view of the U.S., and willing to defend it against its enemies.

> Don't you want me to define racist for you too?

Please. I see little evidence of racism in the U.S. You must have a
different
definition than mine.

> Isn't each year's World Series a one shot series?

A team thrown together for a one shot series at the last minute is hardly
representive of world class competition.

> Define "obvious" for me.

Easily seen, discovered, or understood.
